Can President Barack Obama Be Blamed for Mexico's Woes?

[¡Ask a Mexican!] And who was Ruben Salazar?

DEAR MEXICAN: Barack Hussein Obama, how dare you deprive Mexico of its young, educated people! These illegal aliens in the U.S. are the only hope for Mexico, and you want to keep them here in the U.S.? They could start businesses, create jobs and improve the standard of living for the people of Mexico. Yet you want to be selfish and deprive Mexico of these talented youth. SHAME ON YOU!

DEAR LIMEY: Wow, blaming Obama for Mexico's woes? That's a new one. But your argument that undocumented youth belong in the country of their birth so they can contribute to its well-being instead of los Estados Unidos is a Know Nothing trope as tired as a mariachi playing "Guantanamera." Obama's recent decision to exempt many undocumented youth from deportation is hardly perfect—it ain't an amnesty; it only covers some DREAMers; it still doesn't address what's going to happen to the rest of the country's illegal-immigrant population; and it's really just a ploy to ensure Mexis don't rise up against him and vote Alfred E. Neuman in the fall presidential election—but at least Obama acknowledges these kids are Americans and deserve to stay in the country they know as home. Besides, your logic is laughably off-base: Ever think those undocumented kids know what's best for them? Has it dawned on you that they want to better their home country—the good ol' U.S. de A? Anyone who can't see these simple facts is a pinche puto pendejo baboso and probably thinks Taco Bell is delicious.

DEAR MEXICAN: Since the anniversary of his killing is coming up, how about a look-back piece on Ruben Salazar? I bet you a Canadian dollar a lot of the younger folks don't know that part of their history, and I'd like to read your take on Salazar.

Laid Off and Latino

DEAR WAB: "The younger folks"? Try most folks who aren't Latino reporters or Chicano Studies majors—and even they don't get the essence and importance of the martyr. Salazar was a reporter for the Los Angeles Times who eventually made a name for himself as a columnist, writing on the burgeoning Chicano movement, and was killed by a Los Angeles County sheriff's deputy's tear-gas canister on Aug. 29, 1970, while covering a demonstration in East Los Angeles against the Vietnam War. Chicano activists usually place him on the same movimiento mantle as Zapata and Che Guevara, but Salazar wasn't a Chicano radical by any means—he enjoyed fine dinners and bought a nice home in Orange County, which will probably come as a surprise to most, but not to those who actually knew him. Most important, Salazar considered himself a reporter, period, not the mouthpiece for the Chicano movement. Check out Ruben Salazar, Border Correspondent: Selected Writings, 1955-1970, a great collection edited by Mario T. Garcia, and you'll see he was hardly a fire-breather for La Causa and had his own skepticism about where Chicanos were going and what should be done about it. That didn't stop him from caring about the issue, though: He was a muckraker who cared for justice for all, and it just so happened that Chicanos at the time were being screwed over royally. All reporters can learn from Salazar's work ethic, but everyone, Latino and not, can also by following the mantra he lived by: comfort the afflicted, and afflict the comfortable.

ENRIQUE PENA NIETO IS GAY Y NO SALE DEL CLOSET AND HIS "PURCHASE" WIFE DIDNT EVEN FINISHED ELEMENTARY........SO OBVIOUS THAT FRAUD. THE THING THAT REALLY SHOCKED ME IS THAT NO "HUMAN RIGHT" OR USA HAD SAID ANYTHING ABOUT IT. THE MEXICAN SPRING HAS BEGUN.

based off the title of the column I thought this was going to be about Fast & Furious case....between the Vicente Zambada allegations in chicago and recent allegations that DEA officials told that US kid to take the fall & pretend he was Chapo's son until after the elections
something is awry

The Obama Justice Department led by the notorious U.S. Attorney General Eric holder has been harassing the legal residents of Arizona, as some plaything? The Obama’s administration is playing with the lives of innocent citizens, being slaughtered on the highways of America, the criminals who have spilled into this sovereign nation, transporting their drugs across the border. Daily headlines in the rural press tell of murders, home invasion and assaults on women and children by illegal aliens. How many more citizens are going to live in fear of their lives throughout the border region? Which cattleman is going to be murdered on his land, have their home ransacked, fences cut or their property covered with narco-terrorist trails leaving piles of human trash. Only true American heroes as Sheriff Joe Arpaio of Maricopa County, has the guts to run the gauntlet of an out-of-control Justice Department.
Who will be the next U.S. border Patrol agent to die, through slip shod programs such as ‘fast and furious’ an unraveling mystery as yet to be revealed? Just look at the statistics of crimes on ‘THE DARK SIDE OF ILLEGAL IMMIGRATION’ website? But the mainstream Liberal press either denies this is happening or refuses to print the truth. Of course the Ultra Socialist editors in the mainstream media always corrupt the evidence, stating that Americans commit the same offenses. Obviously Americans do, but does that mean we should tolerate the heinous criminals from other nations and third world countries who shouldn’t be here in the first place. Both political parties in their own wretched way, have brought this epidemic on this land.
However, they refuse to recognize, that if the border was really secured or they could track the over stays, who use international flights as foreigners posing as tourists. All this mayhem brought about by years of what I think was intentional unconcern and ignorance by decades of previous governments. Seeing the Supreme Court’s ruling didn’t go exactly the Justice Department way, they are acting like a spoiled child by cutting of the 287(g) enforcement law for the Grand Canyon state. In light of yesterday's Supreme Court ruling, the Obama Administration has suspended the 287(g) program in Arizona and enforcements. Holder using their ultimate power to intimidate the desert state that is trying to survive the onslaught of illegal aliens. A Justice Department should be there to help protect the people, but instead they are using any manner of issues to undermine the Arizona state sovereignty.
The 287(g) program is an official partnership between local law enforcement agencies and Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) to aid in enforcing federal immigration laws at the local level. Federal officials said the program is no longer needed in Arizona now that the Court has upheld the section of the state's immigration-enforcement law requiring all police to check immigration status. What is next for the Obama regime and his Czar goons, to rescind the ‘Secure Communities’ so local police cannot fingerprint suspicious people who may be illegal aliens.
A COVERT AMNESTY HAS BEEN PASSED BECAUSE PRESIDENT OBAMA, HAS NOT ONLY DISMISSED LAWS PASSED BY THE CONGRESS, BUT NOW IS STATED THAT IT WILL NOT ENFORCE IMMIGRATION LAWS, SPECIFICALLY ON THE ONGOING INTIMIDATION OF ARIZONA. IN OTHER WORDS THIS PRESIDENT HAS METHODICALLY TORE UP THE EDICTS IN THE CONSTITUTION AND ALLOWING FOREIGN NATIONALS TO STAY BY EXECUTIVE FIAT. THIS MAN DOESN’T SEEM TO CARE THAT THIS COUNTRY IS BEING OVERWHELMED BY THE POVERTY FROM SOUTH OF THE BORDER, BUT ALSO A MAGNET TO MILLIONS OF PREGNANT WOMEN WHO ONCE ARRIVE HERE CAN STEAL THE WELFARE OF AMERICAN FAMILIES. ONCE SMUGGLED THROUGH THE BORDER 400.000 ILLEGAL ALIEN MOTHERS ANNUALLY CAN REAP THE REWARDS OF CRIMINALLY ENTERING THE UNITED STATES. WHAT SHOULD BE GOING TO OUR OWN CITIZENS, BEING BLED FROM STATE TREASURIES TO PAY FOR THE WELFARE THROUGH COURT UNFUNDED MANDATES.
We are looking at a President that has added trillions of dollars to the 16 trillion deficits. With Hillary Clinton going overseas and giving $2 billion of taxpayers’ money to some obscure organization in these administrations push for green energy. Not satisfied with this, the Democrats are selling Americas rights of the oceans; with ‘The Treaty of the Sea’.
We should not be looking from either the Obama Government or the Mitt Romney potential administration, but the TEA PARTY. IT is the Time of the PEOPLE’S PARTY. It is the time for the TEA PARTY, which is complimented by man/women; African, White, Hispanic, Asian and other Americans of different nationalities. The TEA PARTY is a wealth of different religions, faiths, gay and ordinary people of every walk of life. Remember a large Majority who votes for President Obama for a second term could be non citizens or American citizens who spend their days watching TV, selling drugs, collecting public assistance and living off the rest of us as parasites. The exception is the sick and true disabled human beings, so think of their dilemma who taxpayers should be assisting, instead of foreigners. If you are frustrated with feeding the rest of the world, unable to get a decent job then join the TEA PARTY. The controversial immigration debate and the problems it has brought; it is a theft of your taxes.
Obama’s new the rules and regulations have been forced on American with its so called ‘Political Correctness’ along with its growing taint of Socialism philosophies impregnating our young in the schools and universities. President Obama has placed obstacles to halt the extraction of valuable energy resources in our time of urgent need. This administration has squashed efforts to extract oil, natural gas and coal; that we could lower the costs from transportation, but sell residual amounts to friendly foreign countries. The progressive’s zealots in the environmentalist world have stopped the laying of oil pipelines from Canada to Texas, and in Utah the Prairie dog has more dominion over townsfolk people through the absolute fanatical ‘Endangered Species’ law. I wonder how long it will be before the Obama Administration taxes us even more, because we actually have a pulse.
Two of the most controversial issue, that we must be imposed at once, so no more foreign invaders are encouraged to break the immigration ‘Rule of Law’. ‘THE LEGAL WORKFORCE ACT’ (E-VERIFY) must be passed and advanced, so illegal aliens can no longer steal jobs from the millions of Americans unemployed. The ‘BIRTHRIGHT CITIZENSHIP ACT (H.R.140) must be compulsory so un born babies smuggled into America, so that parents cannot take benefit from welfare, once the child become an immediate citizen. Half a million pregnant women enter the United States looking for handouts annually, for their children.
This is the time when every American who believes in the ‘Rule of Law’ and steps forward to let their Senator or Congress person knows how you will vote. Tell the politician’s aide (screener) and that you want them to sponsor E-Verify and the Birthright Citizenship bills. Citizen voters should phone Congress at the central Switchboard at 202-224-3121. Insist YOUR CONGRESSMAN/WOMAN TO fulfill their obligation to the oath of office and stop pandering to the businesses that use cheap labor or the pro-illegal alien lawmakers that you are only voting for those who favor the TEA PARTY ideology. Use the power of your VOTE to demand they sponsor these to policies or we are destined to become like Europe, overwhelmed by the poverty of other nations.
